Foundations are non-profit organizations operating under Iowa Code-Chapter 504A and Federal (Internal Revenue Code) Section 501 (c)-3. These groups operate exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes...
The Fossil & Prairie Center Foundation is one such organization. Our group is made up of individuals who wish to become more actively involved in supporting environmental education and other conservation-oriented activities and projects in Floyd County! One of the primary goals of this and any foundation is to raise funds via membership, gifts, annual events, etc.
Foundation activities will provide the Floyd County Conservation Board with an organizational base for volunteers, advise as to the needs of the community, and an avenue for community involvement.
Membership to the Fossil & Prairie Foundation will provide members with a seasonal newsletter of upcoming events, progress of the center and the environmental education program, and conservation related topics.
The initial building costs were around $500,000 with the total estimated cost of building and furnishings to be over $800,000. The Foundation is seeking funds through membership, monetary donations, fund raising events, memorials, and grants. Money raised will be used to complete the display and provide furnishings.
Please consider making a donation to the building fund and/or becoming a member of the Fossil & Prairie Center Foundation. All donations are tax deductible.
Please print the membership form and send to the Foundation.
